“Let us be grateful for the people that bring us happiness; they are the charming gardeners that make our souls blossom.” -Marcel Proust

In February of 2014 I began my weight loss journey and was blessed to do so under the care of Dr. Christine Ren-Fielding. She is a skillful surgeon who changes people’s lives every day. Besides stepping into an operating room and giving them a chance to be healthy, Dr. Christine Ren-Fielding allows her patients to restore their confidence, happiness, and a better sense of self.

As imperative as it is to have a doctor who is strong in their profession, (which she clearly is), I also feel finding a doctor who has such incredible character on top of skill is a rare find. Dr. Christine Ren-Fielding supersedes the highest expectations of any patient. She is without a doubt one of the warmest, most modest, and caring people I have had the pleasure of knowing, and I feel honored to have her as my doctor.

Making the decision to go ahead with weight loss surgery can be difficult to do. That said it’s one of the best choices I’ve ever made and will be eternally grateful for Dr. Christine Ren-Fielding’s ongoing care. My monthly visits are ones I like forward to having as this gives me the chance to have conversations with her about my progress and listen to her advice.

I can only imagine the number of lives she has changed, and the many more that await her expertise. She gives so many people a second chance at life, and I’m hopeful she knows the never ending gratitude we all have for her.
